). I'd like to do
the install myself, though I'm very apprehensive about drilling or
cutting holes into the tile for fear of doing irreversible damage.
I read in a magazine once that there is a type of caulking compound
made for "gluing" fixtures to tile and I would rather give that method
a try. (Sorry, don't recall the magazine I read this in.) Has anyone
tried caulking compound to install a glass shelf on tile? If so, what
were the results? The glue would have to have a strong bond in order
to hold shampoo and soap bottles. Can anyone recommend a brand of
caulking and website(s) that may be able to offer more details? I'd
be happy to hear about any experiences you may have had. Thanks in
advance… Cheers!

they did this the other day on one of those hgtv shows ,they mentioned how
yrs ago the shelfs where put up like the tile glued to the backerboard ,but
they claim now most all tiled bath asser. are installed with silocone calk
adhesive, I dont know if I beleave that most all are installed that way
today.but I guess if you clean the area real good with denatured alcohol anf
use a good 100% silocone like, GE II silocone for tub and bath you must have
a pretty good chance of it staying up .I have been thinking of this becouse
it was just this weekend the show was on ,and it surprised me. you may have
to use some duct tape to hold it in place till it dries.if not it may move
just enough to be crocked after woulds,and you would have to keep saying to
your wife ,I dont know it was level when I put it up, maybe you touched it
while it was drying.
